  2. At the end of syllabus teaching, pupils should be able to • demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific facts, concepts and principles • apply scientific facts and concepts to new situations • use process skills such as observing, classifying, communicating, using apparatus and equipment, interpreting information, controlling variables and planning investigations. Syllabus

  3. Science Curriculum and Aim The Science curriculum seeks to nurture the student as an INQUIRER. End Goal Students to enjoy science and value science as an important tool in helping them explore their natural and physical world.

  4. Attitude in Science It is important to have the right attitude in Science learning. The Science programmes aims to develop pupils’ curiosity, teamwork, perseverance, initiative and responsibility
